I came across a post that talked about this app. It’s an app designed in the name of “female empowerment” by letting women endorse other guys they deem to be good to their other single friends.

And the guys on the app? They’re immediately told to be on their “best behaviour” and if they do so, they’ll earn rewards and points. This bit I find very condescending and not to mention misandric as it doesn’t mention any toxic behaviour that women do. It also gives off the vibes of the “Toronto Unhinged list” or “Are we dating the same guy.” list as well.

Dating is already hard enough for men out there, and this app will only make it needlessly harder. I wouldn’t be surprised if this app attracts only the feminist types as they’re the ones screeching about safety (Note: due to the expectation of men to initiate most things in dating and sometimes resorting to toxic methods to do so, I can understand women’s need to be safe in these interactions especially if a man can’t handle rejection, but I think the scale of safety is being inflated when you have apps or list like these.)

What are your thoughts on it? Do you think this app is a great idea to keep women safe or is it just another discriminatory practice against men and males?

    Apparently, if a guy is not doing well and I guess generating enough points the ringleader can kick the guy off her team and effectively the app. I am all for women’s safety but this is just heartbreaking. Also, what if you don’t know women, you’re locked out of the app. Again, women’s safety needs to be taken seriously, but I fear that this app is going to leave a lot of us out and discarded. Also, the guys are referred to as part of the women’s fleet… I can’t imagine how that would fly if the opposite were true, I certainly wouldn’t feel right about referring to women as my fleet members…

      you’re locked out of the app

      I’d consider that a plus. Men should not use apps like this.

      I may be old-skool, but I believe meeting people in real life is still the best way.

      Fine by me, everyone is too prudish nowadays. Back when I was dating a lot (pre-pandemic), me and my friends would refer to the various ladies I was seeing as my “harem” (as did some of the groovier ladies I was seeing). Dating is a spectrum from no-strings-attached fuckbuddies to intimate exclusive relationships, and as long as there’s consent from all parties, we should be okay with any and all parts of that spectrum. This app is obviously geared more towards the casual, no-strings-attached type of relationships.
